4th Post for English: A Day in School

Dear friends and fellow bloggers, welcome to the 4th "formal" blog post for English homework. are you ready for another absolutely breathtaking, exhilarating and spellbinding blog post?
Then you've come to the wrong place!
Unfortunately, I've decided to write about something a tad more mundane than animation or cartoons this time - school. The Horror! The Horror!
Don't worry, I'm just kidding (about school being horrifying, sort of). Actually secondary school's not that mundane as you think.
Before we begin, here's a lovely view of my school, Victoria School.











Alright, this is how my day in school went.

I woke up at 6am, ate breakfast, sat on the school bus and arrived at about 6.50am. I then proceeded to walk the long and arduous journey up 3 flights of stairs to the fourth level to reach my class (if it's only 3 flights of stairs now I shudder to think what it's like in secondary 3 and 4 to walk all the way to the 7th level).
At about 7.15am, the pupils in my class walked sluggishly up to the parade square one at a time, resulting in us being one of the last classes to reach the parade square. After assembly, we all went back to class and were given a scolding by our maths teacher Ms Lim who said that if we weren't up at the parade square by 7.15 from the next day on, we would all be told to stand during assembly.
The first 4 periods, History and English, passed by in a blur. The only mildly interesting thing that happened then was Wei Jie, class joker, being told to squat in front of the class for playing a fool (no offense to Wei Jie, if you're reading this).
After that, recess. 3 nuggets, down the hatch!
Then, Chinese. My Chinese teacher was fuming because some people copied each other's homework. For the next period, we were forced to listen to her soporific voice as she droned on about Chinese fables.
Literature was next. All this while, a kind of tension had been building up in class. We might actually get our Literature essays back today. Our teacher, Mr Tan, announced that he had marked our essays BUT we did not receive them today. What an anticlimax.
Finally, Maths. For once, our whole class fell into complete silence as we took our long-awaited Math test. Ms Lim then proceeded to teach us more algebra until it was about 5 minutes past our release time.
That's about it - another typical school day. Once again, sorry if you were expecting something a little more interesting. See you next time!
